Bought my first tub of protein powder, ( it expensive). I planned to mix it with low fat milk, the lady at the counter said not. Reason was, dunno sumthin about making less protein available. Said use water.

Does this sound right?
 
Just wondering if there was any truth, I used milk and it was like a regular milkshake. Water mix is chit, looked like diarrhea. Gave it to the dog.

Didn't know if the claim was urban myth or some truth.

The lady was hot BB chick so I just agreed.
 
My ex (who used to work at GNC) said something about not mixing protein powder with whole milk, that skim milk was the best to mix with.

Not sure why? She probably told me, but i don't fucking remember.

All i know is, i like 1% milk, i mix my protein powder with it and it tastes damn fine.

They can make me mix it with water when they pry the 1% jug out of my cold, dead hands!
 
Considering whey and casein come from milk I can't see how adding it to milk would break it down...you're actually getting more. More protein, calories, etc. etc.

That's what I couldn't figure.

Mebbe water absorbs quicker into muscles or some shit like that.

A quick Google search says that mixing with water is good for post workout, as the protein is absorbed faster, as opposed to milk, which slows absorption.

i guess it makes sense.
i haven't tried it, as i am not fond of the idea of drinking vanilla flavored water.
 
Mix it with what ever you want. Lady at the counter is not the boss of you. I like to mix it with OJ for a intraworkout drink. Cold brew coffee, egg whites, milk, and a little heavy cream for the cals in the am.


^^^This , mix it with whatever . Water , fruit juice/Powerade or 2% milk if your cutting/maintaining wt . Whole milk and even Half & Half if your bulking .

Used to go whole milk only for my bulks... Then my pants size stated increasing.

It was becoming a sloppy bulk rather than a dirty bulk. :D

Switched to 1% and haven't had that nasty little problem anymore.

Did ya mount her?

I will only agree with everything a woman tells me only when she is bouncing up and down on me in a semi lit room (or car) with her back arched and titties in my hands. Other than that I'd keep mixing it with milk ;)
